The differences in converging lens and a diverging lens?
A diverging light ray spreads out (diverges) in different directions, while a convergent light ray comes together (converges) at a single point known as the focus.
Why will a diverging lens never produce a real image?
A diverging lens can only produce a virtual image, because the light passing through a diverging lens never converges to a point. The virtual image produced by a diverging lens is always right-side-up and smaller than the original object. The image and the object viewed are always on the same side of the lens. Diverging lenses are used as viewfinders in cameras.
What is a source of diverging light rays?
A diverging lens is a lens that diverges rays of light that are traveling parallel to its principal axis, so diverged light is light that had it's direction altered
Also called a diverging lens?
also calla diverging lens
What happens to light after it passes through a converging lens and after it passes through a diverging lens?
becomes more converging
What is an optical device which bends light by concentrating or diverging the beam?
LENS

The function of the lens is to?
The function of lens is to to form an image of an object by converging or diverging rays of light from the object.
A diverging lens only produces a virtual image because the light rays never do what?
Converges (APEX)
Which lens has the least effect on light rays?
Lens exists in two forms, diverging, or converging. They affect light rays equally, but in contrasting manners.
What happens when light passes through a concave lens and a convex lens?
The light is delayed longer by the thicker part of the lens than by the thinner part of the lens. This results in the following:convex lens, light rays bend towards the axis of the lensconcave lens, light rays bend away from the axis of the lens
What happens to light after it passes through a converging lens and after it passes through a diverging lens?
becomes more converging
Why does the light bend as it goes through the lens?
Because the lens is curved.
Is a lens that is thicker at the edges than in the middle a concave lens?
Yes, this is a concave lens. It is also called a diverging lens because it causes light rays to spread out.
